Sneak Peak at new Rescuer Extreme Lightsaber

[Anakin Starkiller]

Hey guys,

This is a new project that I've been working on for a bit. I wanted to show it off to you guys here before it starts popping up anywhere else. It's engineered for SN4 electronics. Like the Elstree saber, it opens with a twist lock in the main core. But, the rest of the functionality uses threading to keep everything light for FX purposes.
I'd love to hear what you all think of the design.

My grail…

Nice Design, really love how the crystal chamber turned out

I am not too knowledgeable on this topic but are the EFX Reveal and Rylo related in any way? I've noticed the their designs are PRETTY much the same

Really great project Dan! I had no idea this was in the works.

The saber is based on the Elstree reveal. Rylo did a small run replicating that lightsaber and eFX did their run later. Here is some background:

WOW Dan this is going to be amazing!!!

Love it. Recommendation based off owning the Rylo - 2mmx6mm earth magnets under the grip screws, as well as the slightest of in-set so that the screws can be tightened down to physically lock the grip into place if being used as an FX. Nylon-tipped grub screws aren't enough.

Thank you for sharing this! Very interesting

 

[CopperRevan]

I'm definitely in...yes!!! Thank you. The design looks fantastic! Great Job Dan!!

 

[majortom98]

Wow! Very interested. Didn't expect anyone to redo the Elstree saber.

 

[Halliwax]

I’ve been after this for a wicked long time..

 

[Woody]

Looks great. Interested in seeing the progress.

Will it have the same dimensions as your previous rescuer or will changes be made because of the FX capabilities?

 

[CopperRevan]

My top 5 lightsaber hilts of all time to come out of this community have the " AS" logo attached to it. When this releases, I'll have 2 in my top 5 with the name " Rescuer". I absolutely think that belt hanger is the very best of the best Hero versions there is...just my opinion. This was just an unexpected surprise. Very, very excited.

 

[Meneldil]

Outstanding! Will it have inner chassis and be painted on as well? And will it be superior compared to previous rescuer?

Very fair and valid. I always regret not getting in the Rescuer Run

Dan mentioned this is made for SN4 electronics, I wonder if TXQ will be making this

We shall see. I hope it has a real brass neck and comes with both static emitter cap and pommel cap. Even though I'm more of a static hilt fan, this is a must get, especially if it has the above mentioned details. Any intentions I had for any other hilts in the future go on the back burner until this one comes out.

I've always liked this version but don't know a ton about it. If I'm understanding the linked article correctly, the "Elstree" is not actually production made and probably fake? So this is a replica of a fanmade custom?

Real brass neck

Things aren’t finalized yet

I have waited over 10 years for this.. and now it is FX capable with starkillers easy install engineering

Just wait guys, this one is ground breaking

So the Elstree saber wasn't used in production. But... Rylo made a copy of the reveal design, and then his replica became the hero Luke saber in Mandolorian. So, the design did eventually enter cannon in a big way
